To improve understanding of the physics of dynamic instabilities in unsaturated flow processes within the Paintbrush nonwelded unit (PTn) and the middle nonlithophysal portion of the Topopah Spring welded tuff unit (TSw) of Yucca Mountain, we analyzed data from a series of infiltration tests carried out at two sites (Alcove 4 and Alcove 6) in the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF), using analyt...

It is necessary to establish effective communication between two horizontal wells during the preheating period of steam-assisted gravity-drainage (SAGD). However, time usually very long, which results in high steam consumption and CO2 emissions. There little research on effects different wellbore fluids period. The heat transfer heating characteristics fluids–water, heat-conduction oil, air–wer...

Postural stress tests are useful in the assessment of cardiovascular reflex response of normal subjects who may be involved in specialised occupations such as flying; in order to study the effects of physiological stresses such as heat stress, hypoxia, simulation of weightlessness; physiological evaluation of cosmonaut candidates, in patients who may have autonomic neuropathy. Most commonly qui...

concerns about nitrate pollution in groundwater and downstream systems cause development of surface water management system to reduce losses of agricultural drainage water nitrate in subsurface drainage using subsurface irrigation from existing drainage lines, drainage water during the growing season and out of season is controlled. the overall objective of this study was to evaluate the effect...

Estimating the gravity anomaly causative bodies boundary can facilitate the gravity field interpretation. In this paper, 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is employed as a method to delineate the boundary of the gravity anomaly sources. Hence, the GRACE’ satellite gravity data is decomposed using DWT. DWT decomposites a single approximation coefficients into four distinct components: the appr...

micro gravity data was collected in a crowded street in tehran where a subway terrain tunnel is to be excavated. the data is corrected for the gravity effects of the surrounding densely built up area with diverse buildings and the bouguer gravity anomalies are computed. the residual gravity anomalies are prepared by removing a trend surface. upward continuation is used to remove the gravity eff...

Abstract We show that the return‐point memory of cyclic macroscopic trajectories enables derivation a thermodynamic framework for quasistatically driven dissipative systems with multiple metastable states. use this to sort out and quantify energy dissipated in quasistatic fluid‐fluid displacements disordered media. Numerical computations imbibition–drainage cycles quasi‐2D medium gap thickness ...
